Sony Ericsson Cedar Review

Continuing on from past success, today we'll be taking a look at the Sony Ericsson Cedar. With a sufficiently organic name, the Cedar takes its position as an entry level phone with a few very nice elements such as a 3.5mm headphone jack, 3G and expandable memory to make it more than just a simple candybar phone with a bit of green on the side...

Obviously, Nokia X2 is better than Sony Ericsson Cedar. I considered buying SE Spiro and SE Cedar but Nokia wins my decision. I compared their specs, and Nokia X2 managed to top any of the phones I considered. Nokia looks great, has 5-MP camera, better-looking UI, more customizable, etc. I love SE too but for now I think I'll have to go with Nokia X2.

I have this phone recently and I'm very satisfied about it. Offcourse it is a basic phone but it does its job very good. I cannot really say anything bad about this phone.
The buttons feel good, they give enough feedback and the screen is clear.
Advantages are the standard connections (micro-usb and 3.5" audio jack), and the battery life, it lasts at least 8 days with normal use.

hi...my friend is planning to buy this phone. but i am not convinced of it's features. i think it lacks a lot. but if the battery lasts 8days with normal use according to kevinb, then maybe my friend would really be happy to buy this one. please help me with your feedbacks.thanks.

I bought this phone weeks ago. It's a pretty sweet phone. In the Cedar vs X2 issue, well it just depends on what you need really. I too had the dilemma of which to pick. But since I'm too sick of qwerty, and I have a smartphone that pretty much does it all, I chose Cedar over X2 because my main reason for getting it was I'll be using it to call and just send short messages-- mostly calls though. One noticeable defect(?) is that when music volume is maxed on loudspeaker, the sound gets too cracky and sounds very bad. Some of my music files won't play the last 5 seconds.. Anyhow, as I've said, it all just depends on what you need. As to the battery life, as I'm a frequent caller, my battery lasts to 2-3 days. Overall, I love Cedar :)

1)No zooming of images.....2)The Quality of sound SUCKSSS!!. There is a option in equilizer (MEGA BASS), don get impressed with that. so those who like Sony Ericsson for music dont buy... just waste of money

On contrary my friend, Cedar has superb sound quality as most SE products. Compared to some Nokia crap and others, I can easily connect my Cedar to my Hi-Fi at home/car and enjoy excellent reproduction of high bit rate MP3s. The problem (as with the other sound complains) are the earphone sets you are using. Cheap earphones = cheap sound, expensive earphones = GREAT sound! Try and see. I’m not using any sound enhancement on my set, because sound is full and pure as it supposed to be.

Hiii friends i think this phone features are excellent but its not good than yendo now u thing that im lier if you trust than trust of not than not but i will buying SE yendo very soon because its features are very conscious than cedar, cedar is worst than yendo thats why i not buy this phone.

Yes it supports .jar and .jad also it supports mp4 file format and its a very good mobile phone as compared to other nokia i would like to prefer SE though sound is not upto the mark of this phone but on other hand i like it very much

Great phone!
The greatest thing about Cedar (J108) is well known SE user-friendliness. Simply make your custom chosen shortcuts and you’re ready to fly. 3G works great for mobile surfing. It is not smart phone, no WiFi, java aps only...... but it is a PHONE that is joyful to use. If you combine it with My Phone Explorer on PC, you’ll never want to get rid of it (I’ve tried twice to go for more expensive phones, came back quickly). And music sound is just astonished, can’t be better, but the volume could be higher than it is. All in all, it’s a baby you either like, or don’t like (if you prefer smart gadgets that cook you lunch)
